Quota card gets smarter, ending confusion for desktop app users
People who exclusively use the desktop app will no longer stare at a blank Claude quota card wondering if they botched the installation. The quota card relies heavily on the statusLine hook (a hidden mini-program that intercepts and reports status), but Claude Code only wakes it up when you open an interactive terminal. Previously, if you only used the desktop version, this hook was never triggered. Even if your transcripts were actively growing, the card stubbornly displayed a generic "status file not found" message and told you to run the setup again. Now, the card recognizes when the hook is installed and you're actively chatting, but the status file is just missing. Instead of giving you irrelevant installation instructions, it gives you a targeted hint that a terminal session needs to run once to sync. It's like installing a smart water meter but using a different sink; previously the meter would tell you to rip it out and reinstall it, but now it just tells you to "go turn on the main faucet once to sync the data."
